We arrived in Annapolis, Maryland on the 27th of May and have been enjoying lovely weather all the time, with 27 degrees C/ 78 degrees F, sunshine and a good breeze, and cool nights. We are moored right outside the US Naval Academy. Last week they had their passing out parade, supposed to to quite spectacular with Blue Harrier jets flying in formation. We missed it!
I like Annapolis. It is small with a lot of good quality shops, and altogether very much relying on tourist-industry.
We did Washington on 28th, and as I was standing on the spot where Martin Luther King gave his freedom speech 40 years ago, I had a phone call from Scotland to say that I was now a Grandmother. Wee Anna was born in Ninewells Hospital at 3.43 pm to my daughter Kirsten. Both are well. Really good news!!
Yesterday we took the bus to Baltimore and got our cruising permit with no bother at all. We had been worried as we had gone in vane to Norfolk and other yachties had gone to Richmond also
no luck.make an appointment with Bettye Tune in US Customs and Excise, 40 S Gay Street, Phone 410 962 2806, and it is straight forward. It doesn't cost you a cent.
Baltimore inner harbour area is really exciting with new spectacular buildings and fun architecture.
